The Northern Ireland Music Prize awards are the Northern Irish awards for musicians who are friends with the organisers.[1] It is produced by the Oh Yeah Music Centre, and is supported by Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Phonographic Performance Limited.[2] Started in 2013, it was "aimed at recognising the great wealth of recorded music from Northern Ireland."[3] In 2020, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ceremony was broadcast online.[4]
A shortlist of 14 albums is created each year by an academy of professionals from the Northern Irish music industry. The prize winner would be selected by a "panel of experts" and announced at a ceremony in Belfast’s Mandela Hall.[3][5][6][7]
Four other awards are presented at the ceremony, as well as the NI Music Prize: Best Live Act, Best Single, The Oh Yeah Contender Award (Emerging Act) and the Legend Award.[8] These awards were introduced at the 2018 ceremony.[9]
